About Us | Exam Results - Caxton College British School

Exam Results

Our students follow the British curriculum and, just like their British counterparts, sit the international exams set by British Examination Boards that are linked to the most prestigious universities in the U.K.

There are three essential examination periods and cohorts taking British exams within the school: the IGCSEs taken in Year 11; and the AS and A2 exams taken in Year 12 and 13.

Meanwhile, Primary students will sit an examination when they finish this stage of their education, as well as being internally assessed by the school.

Thanks to the academic results that our students achieve annually, they gain access to nationally and internationally renowned universities.
